Posted on Tuesday 20th March 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


What a contrast today is to the recent gloomy weather. We have brilliant blue sky sitting over the resort with only a couple of clouds showing. The clear sky and sun is forecast to stay with us throughout the day. There is no wind and there has been 3cm of snow overnight that has settled across the village covering all the roads.
